Built around Benelli's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2007 Benelli Velvet 125 relies on a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 53.7 x 54.8 mm (2.1 x 2.2 inches).
On the scales, the Velvet 125 measures 122 kg (269 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11.7-liter (3.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
